Software Reviews and Criticism

  You saved the day!!

  I have loved Eric’s Solitaire since the early 90’s when I would play Eight Off for hours to get out of doing household chores! Then, when I got my first Windows in 2008, I bought Eric’s Ultimate and was immediately hooked! I had a circuit of games I would play every day, FOR YEARS! Then I upgraded my OS yesterday, and the only application Microsoft told me wouldn’t work on El Capitan was Eric’s Ultimate. I cried. Then, as soon as everything was loaded, I checked the app store and found Eric’s All-in-One. I actually thought for a minute that I could kick the habit, but no, I downloaded the new app and started playing that very second! The only small bummer is there’s no Alisa or Calculation, which were two of my faves. But, as long as I still have Three Shuffles, Montana, Golf, Seven Off, Poker Square and Pyramid, I’ll live. The new graphics and animation are a little distracting, but I’ll get used to it. Thanks, Eric, for being such a stand-up solitaire superstar!!

  The best hands down.

  I started with Eric’s klondike solitaire and quickly found FreeCell and Spider on my iPad. I absolutely love the clear and pleasing graphics, the effortless and intuitive movement of the cards. This All-in-1 package for my Windows does not disappoint and I enjoyed finding a bonus rule before clicking over the first card in Golf Solitaire. The Golf solitaire game is a bit harder than my iPad solitaire games (I win much more often) but Eric's visuals are so awesome, far superior to any of the others I’ve tried, and you CAN improve (slowly in my case) so I will stick with it! Love all his editions. Now waiting for Golf for iPad. Thanks Eric!!!

  High price and poor quality

  I have used and enjoyed the earlier version Eric’s Solitaire for years. So much so that I purchased it and even sent in a donation to help the cause. The lastest Microsoft OS system won’t allow me to use that version (what else is new?), so it is very diappointing to pay what seems to me to be a premium price for a product that is very poor quallity. The game I prefer has stars descending during play that is very distracting. They have no purpose that I can determine. When trying to play a card, two will “stick” together. Try to move one and you get two. After moving the two around for several turns it will release most of the time but it is very irritating and a waste of time if you are trying to improve your time per game. There are other minor annoyances with speed of auto play and settings but you get the idea. I will not purchase this product again if once more Microsoft changes OS systems.

  Not goofy like the original

  If you think you are going to get an updated version of Eric’s Ultimate Solitaire, think again. This version is completely different. What made the original Eric’s so much fun for me was the silliness of the comments and the goofy cartoon. It seems like maybe there was some sort of patent on the original so Eric had to create something that was different in most ways from the original. The deck plays pretty much like the original but everything else is different. It’s like we went from the kids version to the adult version. I liked the kids version much better. Oh well, it plays ok, but it’s a big disappointment from what I expected.
